In fact, this kind of thing is really not just one or two, it can even be said to be commonplace.
Pawn shops are divided into live pawns and dead pawns.
If it is pawned, the price is higher. Once it is pawned, it cannot be redeemed. It is equivalent to being bought by the pawn shop.
As for the work, the price is low, but it is equivalent to borrowing money as a mortgage. When you have money, you can also pay to redeem the things.
What pawn shops do is this kind of business of turning around and making profits.
But the pawn shop prefers dead pawns. In this way, you don’t have to save things for others, but you can directly turn around and sell them at a high price. The money will come in faster and more steadily.
Then comes the problem.
The pawn shop likes this kind of thing and wants to fool the other party, but the other party just refuses. What to do at this time?
Either force the other party to die, or exchange the fake for the real, so that the other party can only redeem the fake when it expires. Or, wait for the other party to redeem it, and then try to get it out by means.
There is even the most despicable thing, which is to let others do things to make the other party's life more and more miserable.
Anyway, if your family has valuable money, don’t step into a pawn shop easily.
However, these four methods can easily damage the reputation of the pawn shop. Although the pawn shop is not that shameless.
But the fig leaf has to be pulled off to block it.
Generally low-level pawn shops will do this.
As for pawnshops with a higher end, people lose votes.
If the pawn ticket is gone, it’s either a dead pawn or a dead pawn. The price offered by the pawn shop is still low, killing two birds with one stone.
This not only saves you the risk of counterfeiting, but also avoids the problem of things being redeemed and then being robbed and you may not be able to find them again.
Therefore, in this case, Di Ying could tell at a glance: as long as "Mingli Pawnshop" was not a low-end store, then the person who attacked Xiang Junsheng was from the pawnshop.
That's why when he stole Xiang Junsheng's money bag, he hid his face so that he couldn't see clearly.
Xiang Junsheng uses his senses to look for a thief. Only when he can find one can he find the thief.
But common sense is common sense. Where did Xiang Junsheng's calligraphy and painting go?
Also: Did he really go to a pawn shop to pawn calligraphy and paintings, or did he really lose the banknote? None of this is known yet.
Although Xiang Junsheng's family members said that it was an authentic painting of Wang Xizhi, it was indeed Xiang Junsheng who took it and pawned it to exchange it for money.
But has Xiang Junsheng ever walked into a pawn shop?
There was not even a single human witness, let alone physical evidence.
Therefore, everything in this case seems to be very easy to reason about, but in fact... with the death of Xiang Junsheng, there is no real thread that can be grasped.
Di Ying thought of this, then stood up and said: "Xiang Junsheng's family said that he exchanged calligraphy and painting for money to prepare for going to Beijing to take the exam. So, he is a scholar and has a mentor. Let's see who his mentor is and who he is currently in. Where? Let’s go visit the old man.”
This time, Xie Jing didn't need to go through the message box and answered directly: "The person who taught Xiang Junsheng's studies is called Rong Ning. He is fifty-five years old this year. He was also a fourth-rank official at the time. He also died because of his opposition to His Majesty's ascension to the throne. One of those who was deposed and returned to his hometown.
After Rong Ning returned to his hometown, he began to teach students. He is very adaptable to this status and has taught many students who are currently serving in the court. The student with the highest status is..."
Xie Jing was stunned.
Di Ying looked at him strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Is he some big shot?"
Xie Jing shook his head and whispered back: "It's Mr. Song Wen and Mr. Song. Mr. Song was taught by Rong Ning for half a year. It wasn't a long time, but Song Wen was a man who cared for his kindness and respected all the masters who taught him. Yes. We will also arrange for people to come back to visit Mr. Rong every year."
Di Ying: "..."
He always thought that Song Wen was from the capital city.
But then I thought again: the current capital city was later moved to Chang'an. The former capital city is now called Dongdu.
Just next to Luozhou.
Tsk, this thread is so messy... If I pull it off again, I don’t know who will come out.
Di Ying pouted and said, "Whoever he is, let's go pay our respects to Mr. Rong first."
Di Ying finally understood now: why Song Wen used to have a bad temper, but he still stood firm in the court and was very popular.
It seems that it is not just the result of his usefulness to Wu Desen.
However, Di Ying also believes that as long as he is involved in the case, no matter who will be involved in the end, Song Wen will not cover up.
This is also one of the benefits of a wide social circle: if you are willing to give up, there will be people who are willing to give up.
Rong Lao has been blessed with peaches and plums all over the world, and now his life is stable, quiet, leisurely and comfortable.
The sound of students reciting could be heard from the southwest area of the house, which was not very spacious, and was obviously in the style of an academy.
When Mr. Rong heard that Di Huaijie was paying his respects, he personally went to the gate and took him in.
Di Ying bowed politely.
Although Rong Ning is now a commoner, his character is valuable and no one will despise him because of his status.
Rong Ning did not welcome Di Ying in person because of his status.
He smiled kindly and welcomed people to the flower hall to sit down. Only the host and guest were seated on both sides, not up and down.
"Huai Jie, when you first came to Luozhou and took office, you wiped out all the treacherous teachers. Your thunderous methods were really impressive. When I heard about it, I all raised a glass of strong wine to celebrate. It really made everyone happy. Heart.
I thought I could only have a close relationship with you, but unexpectedly you paid a sudden visit, which really made me feel happy. I'm lucky enough to know Mr. Di. Even though he is careless, he is still proud of himself. "
Di Ying quickly raised his hand and replied respectfully: "Mr. Rong, you are exaggerating, and Huai Jie really doesn't deserve it."
"There is no need to be modest. These words are not what I said. They were spread among the common people and reached my ears. But at this moment, I also feel the same way, so I borrowed them for you."
Rong Ning stroked his long beard and his smile became more kind.
Di Yingze quickly waved his hands, looking embarrassed.
Seeing Rong Ning's friendly attitude, he went straight to the point: "Mr. Rong, Huaijie is here for nothing else but for the case of Xiang Junsheng. I wonder how much Mr. Rong knows about his affairs?" Can you tell me something?"
"I know you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything,"
Rong Ning smiled kindly, and his smile deepened, but after just a breath, it turned into emotion.
He sighed and said: "They say that the best student I taught was Song Wen and Song Guangping, but that's not true.
That kid from Guangping is not that clear-minded, and he is only above average in terms of knowledge. This cannot be discussed based on the level of official position.
But Xiang Junsheng is the most intelligent and the most favored by me. After he passed the imperial examination, he took the old man's name and personally guided him in preparing for the imperial examination.
I was very happy to see that he had a solid foundation and a thorough knowledge and understanding. I am very optimistic about his ability to reach high school in one fell swoop.
It can be said that it is not an exaggeration to praise him as a top scholar. "
